There is significant clinical evidence showing that creative and expressive movement processes involved in dance/movement therapy (DMT) enhance psycho-social well-being. Yet, because movement is a complex phenomenon, statistically validating which aspects of movement change during interventions or lead to significant…

Prefrontal cortex is often viewed as an extension of the motor system, but little is understood of how it relates to natural motor behavior. We therefore tracked the kinematics of freely moving rats performing minimally structured tasks and measured which aspects of behavior were read out in prefrontal neural…

This editorial outlines the outcome of an interdisciplinary session on collective sense-making through dance improvisation, which took place during the ‘Neural and Social Bases of Creative Movement’ workshop. We argue that joint improvisation practices place the scientist in a privileged position to reveal the nature…

Objective and continuous monitoring of Parkinson’s disease (PD) tremor in free-living conditions could benefit both individual patient care and clinical trials, by overcoming the snapshot nature of clinical assessments. To enable robust detection of tremor in the context of limited amounts of labeled training data, we…

Our team of dance artists, physicists, and machine learning researchers has collectively developed several original, configurable machine-learning tools to generate novel sequences of choreography as well as tunable variations on input choreographic sequences. We use recurrent neural network and autoencoder…

What role does the break from realism play in the potential for generative artificial intelligence as a creative tool? Through exploration of glitch, we examine the prospective value of these artefacts in creative practice. This paper describes findings from an exploration of AI-generated "mistakes" when using movement…

Deciding when to initiate action is essential to survival. Insights from movement disorders and pharmacological studies implicate the neurotransmitter dopamine as a regulator of movement timing, but the underlying neural mechanisms are not understood. Here we show dynamic dopaminergic signaling over seconds-long…

Creativity represents an important feature in a variety of daily-life and domain-specific contexts. Recent evidence indicates that physical movement serves as a key resource for exploring and generating task-relevant creative ideas, supporting the embodied perspective on creative cognition. An intuitive link between…

Defining “dance” is challenging, because many distinct classes of human movement may be considered dance in a broad sense. Although the most obvious category is rhythmic dancing to a musical beat, other categories of expressive movement such as dance improvisation, pantomime, tai chi, or Japanese butoh suggest that a…

The purpose of the article is to outline how Deleuzian concepts, notably the notions of apprenticeship in signs based on a pedagogy of the concept, can stimulate thinking and understanding of movement learning, and provide insights about pedagogical implications in various movement educational settings.…

Existing models of human walking use low-level reflexes or neural oscillators to generate movement. While appropriate to generate the stable, rhythmic movement patterns of steady-state walking, these models lack the ability to change their movement patterns or spontaneously generate new movements in the specific…

Mirroring is a foundational method used in Dance Movement Therapy (DMT), assumed to foster empathy and therapeutic attunement, yet its embodied dynamics remain insufficiently studied. In this paper, we provide the first quantitative exploration of client-therapist mirroring across dyadic and triadic formats, examining…

Dystonia, a neurological disorder defined by abnormal postures and disorganised movements, is considered to be a neural circuit disorder with dysfunction arising within and between multiple brain regions. Given that spinal circuits constitute the final pathway for motor control, we sought to determine their…

Measures of human movement dynamics can predict outcomes like injury risk or musculoskeletal disease progression. However, these measures are rarely quantified in clinical practice due to the prohibitive cost, time, and expertise required. Here we present and validate OpenCap, an open-source platform for computing…

The rise of non-linear and interactive media such as video games has increased the need for automatic movement animation generation. In this survey, we review and analyze different aspects of building automatic movement generation systems using machine learning techniques and motion capture data. We cover topics such…

Benefit for Unscripted Continuous Speech Authors: ['Mareike Daeglau' 'Juergen Otten' 'Giso Grimm' 'Bojana Mirkovic' 'Volker Hohmann' 'Stefan Debener'] The audio-visual benefit in speech perception—where congruent visual input enhances auditory processing—is well-documented across age groups, particularly in challenging…

—The integration of large language models (LLMs) into healthcare IoT systems promises faster decisions and improved medical support. LLMs are also deployed as multi-agent teams to assist AI doctors by debating, voting, or advising on decisions. However, when multiple assistant agents interact, coordinated adversaries…

'Di Tang' 'Jiaqing Zhou' 'Jiebo Luo'] Choreographers determine what the dances look like, while cameramen determine the final presentation of dances. Recently, various methods and datasets have showcased the feasibility of dance synthesis. However, camera movement synthesis with music and dance remains an unsolved…

The microtubule motor kinesin-1 is vital in neurons, with mutations being associated with neurological diseases. Deletion of the Caenorhabditis elegans kinesin-1 gene unc-116 is lethal, and viable mutants are uncoordinated. Here, we use auxin-mediated degradation to deplete UNC-116 protein at different developmental…
